BRAZIL AND RIO DE JANEIRO

Brazil, and particularly, Rio de Janeiro, is a nice and exotic place to
visit. Rio is a very beautiful and friendly city, located between 
mountains and sea. Copacabana and Ipanema beaches are in the city. Full
day boat cruises allow you to explore tropical islands at the south of
Rio. In an hour drive distance is located the mountain city of Petropolis,
former summer residence of Brazilian Emperors in the last century.

Shopping in Rio may be very exciting: boutiques offers both well known 
international products as well as Brazilian creations, such as handicrafts
and gemstones of highest quality at low prices. Rio has a strong touristic 
infrastructure, with a large number of hotels and restaurants, where you
will find both international and exotic Brazilian food. 

It should also be considered that at a very reasonable price, you can
extend your trip and spend a couple of days in Manaus, a city in the
center of the amazonic forest, or in Foz do Iguassu, with its splendid
waterfalls, just to mention a few interesting Brazilian cities.

HOTEL GLORIA

Hotel Gloria is a traditional five stars hotel, located between downtown
Rio and Copacabana, facing the Guanabara bay and the Sugar Loaf. Usually,
the hotel hosts the Brazilian Presidents during their stay in Rio. The
rates for the Midwest delegates will be around US$ 50, for single or
double room, including breakfast.

TRAVELING TO RIO

Most international airlines fly directly to Rio from the major American, 
European, and Oriental cities. Considerable discounts are offered for a 
trip of 7 or more days (besides the Symposium, there is a number of
attractions to enjoy in Rio and around the country). Special discounts
are being negotiated for the Midwest Symposium attendants.
